James Beeland Rogers, Jr. (born October 19, 1942) is an expatriate American investor and financial commentator based in Singapore. He is co-founder, along with George Soros, of the Quantum Fund, and is a college professor, author, world traveler, economic commentator, and creator of the Rogers International Commodities Index (RICI).
I just saw a similar clip by a guy named Gerald Celente from trendwatcher: I am not as familiar with him as I am Rogers. Celente states, full on revolution in 2012 fueled by a tax revolt and food riots. He said 2009 would be the official collapse led by commercial real estate, and that we'd see the seeds of the revolt and food riots in the US this year
I like Jim Rogers. He says the farmers are going to be one's driving the Lamborghini's in the future. Everything he says makes sense to me. Roger's moved to Singapore so his daughters would not have to grow up in the U.S. That feels sad to type. But that's his story and he's sticking to it.
Well there is no doubt things will be getting much worse. Personally I'm less worried about a revolution and food riots here, than the global power struggle that is ensuing all around us both economically as well as the military positioning and buildups.
